==  Overview ==

This howto describes ways to add a form to a page from which visitors to your site can send an email to you (or the webmaster).

Using this methods, you can:

   * offer a feedback page to your visitors
   * protect your email address from spammers
   * use a solution based on cocoon - the same technology as is Lenya (contrary to cgi-based FormMail-scripts.

To get an idea what this howto is all about, you might want to read the following files:
    
   * http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/actions/sendmail-action.html
   * http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/userdocs/xsp/sendmail.html
   * http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/RecipeXSPSendMailExample
   * http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/MailBodyViaPipeline

==  Prerequisites ==

You need to install two additional .jar-Files in order to send mails via cocoon. You can obtain those files from sun.com. 
Go to http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/ and download the JavaMail package.
Go to http://java.sun.com/beans/glasgow/jaf.html and download the JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF) package.
Extract the package contents and copy the .jar files to WEB-INF/lib/. If you are using a binary distribution of Lenya in conjunction with Tomcat, your directory layout might look like this:

jakarta-tomcat
  - webapps
    - cocoon
      - WEB-INF
    - lenya

The exact location of the WEB-INF directory might be different if you compiled Lenya from source or if you are using Jetty instead of Tomcat.
